This was our first visit to Joe M and we could not have been happier. Both Joe and his wife are very caring people and took real good care of our dog Phil. Will certainly use them in the future.

It was our first time leaving our dog with someone and Joe sent updates and photos every day, which helped to decrease our anxiety. Watson had a wonderful time staying there. Joe treats your dog as if he/she was his own. We will be re-booking with him again.

Life without pets is not natural

My wife and I have had 3 Collies since we were married 21 years now. 1st Gayla, then we got Logan at age 10 months. Shortly thereafter, Gayla died and we got Stevie as a playmate for Logan. Stevie was an all-white, former show Collie. All 3 of them were adopted from Collie Rescue, They were our whole life. Stevie died March 2012 and we just lost Logan July 2014. I am retired and home ...

My wife and I have had 3 Collies since we were married 21 years now. 1st Gayla, then we got Logan at age 10 months. Shortly thereafter, Gayla died and we got Stevie as a playmate for Logan. Stevie was an all-white, former show Collie. All 3 of them were adopted from Collie Rescue, They were our whole life. Stevie died March 2012 and we just lost Logan July 2014. I am retired and home a lot, (we live on 5 acres in a rural area). Life without a pet seems empty. We miss them both so much. I have a special bond with animals, and people tell me all the time their animals accept me when they do not accept other people. I have had dogs and cats all my life, and would treat your pet like family!!!

Why I love dog sittingHave loved animals all my life. Life without a pet is not a full life. I feel there are no bad animals only people can make an animal unkind!!!

About my yardI live on 5 acres most of which is mowed, we also live about 600 ft from a road which is not very busy, yard is not fenced but we live in a rural area and I would keep the pet leashed if need be, I would be absolutely sick if a pet were to get away from me.

My experience administering medicationYes did it for my pets when they were older, and for other pets I've had through out my lifetime.

When Joe watches your dog

Here's where we'll take our walksIn my yard as I said have a huge 4 acre yard, plenty of room to run and play.

Your dog's sleeping arrangementWith us in our bedroom on their puppy bed or were ever the pet is most comfy. Use to have 3 dog beds in different parts of the house for our dog, but he died July 20, 2014. Gave all the toys, beds, blankets, brushes etc. to a friend who has 3 dogs.

Time I'll spend with your dogAs much as possible, I love being around and with animals, I am retired and it's not very good weather during the winter months for golf, I do play a couple of times a week in spring-fall.
